4to, 762 pages, in double columns. 124 plates. Index. Bound in blue
cloth. Title in gilt on front board and spine. Bumped corners. Very
good. "This is Brown's most important book and one of the best
works on Texas Indian fighters and early pioneers. The information
was gathered over his entire fifty years in Texas, and the text was
completed shortly before his death. Although he felt his History
of Texas was his major contribution, that work pales beside
Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas for interest, information,
and reliability." (Jenkins.) [and:] James T. DeShields.Border Wars of Texas. Tioga [Texas]: The
